Not what it looks like in the pictures and as soon as you walk in the lobby it smelled. I paid for the room ahead of time through a 3rd party. So we checked in and walked in the first room. Part of the forcible entry lock was missing, as well as it smelled like cigarettes. I asked for a refund but was told they could not provide a refund and was offered another room. This room also had a different part of the forceable lock missing. The gentleman working assured me that no one else has a key to my room and it would be fine. I said absolutely not because it almost looked kicked in. We were offered a third room where all devices were there, but the room was just not clean. It gave off a very “trafficking” feel. At this point I was willing to lose the money I had already paid and checked out at this location. I went 5 minutes down the road and paid $29 more for another beautiful hotel with a 4 star rating that gave us a welcome gift, clean beautiful room, pool, and great breakfast. The only positive thing to mention about this property is that the manager was understanding, polite, and offered to help me get my money back.
The property is horrible. Our room stunk of mildew,i had to use a car freshener which still didn't help, there was no hot water only warm water in the shower.. as a property Wyndham ower Wyndham should be embarrassed having there name associated with that hotel.. one thing that's definitely for sure I will never ever ever go to a Howard Johnson again never
This establishment is old and decrepit. While I don’t expect a five star stay at a roadside motel, for $135 I would hope that I would have clean sheets, at least. Found what looked to be a blood stain of some sort on the sheet on one of the beds. I needed the room for one night only, and couldn’t get out of there fast enough!!

This motel was pretty sub-standard and the beds in the room was not that comfortable. The breakfast options the motel offered was pretty substandard and could be improved.

Staff was rude. I booked a one king size room and got put in a two twin bed room. No towels in room. I had to go ask and when I did such staff was rude about giving them to me. Area is a bit unsafe. Nothing but vending machines and they “offers free wifi” they don’t.
Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience. The room was clean and had almost everything I needed. I had coffee and sugar, but no coffee maker. Plenty of coffee in the lobby. If you do not eat gluten, the breakfast is very limited. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. Quiet too. I was near the front of the building and therefore, the road. I would stay here again for sure.
When I arrived at the hotel. I had to wait 2 hours to find another room, because my room was given to someone else. Staff claim that Expedia did not sent them the payment for the room. When given another room after signing another contract for payment.
The bathroom was disgusting. Black mold in the grout lines in the tile in the shower. The door molding was gross. Some black substance was on it. I called to have it cleaned. They were responsive, but the person who came to clean it thought it was fine. When I pointed it out, he cleaned some areas and was amazed at how good it looked. I assisted with the remainder of the cleaning. The outside doorknob to the bathroom was also missing. We were afraid to sleep in the bed based on the condition of the room. There was coffee but no machine in the room. The continental breakfast was a joke. If there was another hotel vacant, I would have eaten the cost and gone else where. I’ll send an email to Howard Johnson as well hoping for an explanation since I won’t trust their brand going forward. Lastly, the outside picture of the facility when I booked it thru expedia was misleading. This place was a dive compared the photo.
Bathroom was clogged. When asked to fix it the guy who cane to fix it had a bad attitude. When asked what to do if it gets clogged? He said pray to God it doesn’t get clogged again. When we asked to change the incase it gets clogged again he gave a deaf ear. When I went for some towels at the front desk the receptionist said he doesn’t have one. Instead he said go look for the house keeping he’s cleaning the rooms go look for him u might find him in one of the rooms. Ask him and get it from him.
When we checked in, there was an issue with my bill and being given an incorrect invoice for double the amount. When I called them out on it, they said it was an error and shredded that paperwork. We were given in room 202, which initially looked fine when we went in and dropped off our bags. Upon returning a few hours later, there was a heavy odor of pot coming from the adjacent room. I also discovered a used washcloth hanging over the shower curtain rack with human hair in it. I went to the check-in desk to make them aware of the conditions of the room and, the smell. The desk agent stated that they could not control what their guests did once they had checked into their room, and that housekeeping had taken place in the morning before she even reported to work. I asked for a room closer to the front of the property next to the office. When she said they were totally booked, I said I wanted my money back immediately. She quickly found a room in the front of the property in the first building which we inspected and transferred our belongings to you. Not once did the office staff offer an apology or anything. I was not acting ugly because my son was with me, and I did not want to embarrass him. After many, many stays at Howard Johnsons across the southeast, this is my last. Between the condition of the room and the utter lack of concern from management, I will not visit this chain again. I’m also questioning using hotels.com in the future.
